They've got a few threats in their spine with Rourke, Leyland and Campagnolo, our pack should get on top but they're a hardworking unit. Least Meadows isn't playing, I've only seen him play well against us.

If everyone's good to play I'd go something like:

Moy
Briscoe
Carlos
Chamberlain
Martin/Barron
Walker
Charles
Ese Ese
Smith
Sao
Cartwright
Lane
Aydin

Ashworth
Eseh
Balmforth
Ruan/Fash

I'd probably give Martin a rest and give this game to Barron. Martin looked like he needs a rest in that Leigh game.

We play with enthusiasm and use our brains we win.

I know we had him at Hull a few years back, but I'd have the beinek (sp) as a back up forward for next season. He's looking like he's realising he can be SL quality. Big bloke,.runs hard and has a bit of an engine.

The london players are all too young for our recruitment strategy
Think Miloudi is probably the oldest at 30
I wouldnt write them off

True but we said the same when we played them in May.

I'm very nervous about the game. We are mostly awful at Magic, last year being an exception (our last win outside of Hull).

That statement is the epitome of misery. Our forwards look miles better than of late, backs not bad. Granted halves not great but provides more experience for next season. Don’t go into motivational speaking. Hey come on be a bit more upbeat there are good reasons to be so

Agree with this, unfortunately.

We must have some of the most miserable downbeat Rovers fans on here.

Funny how all these fans who’ve rejoined the board, either no longer go or contribute with downbeat posts, makes you wonder whether they’re standing next to Bonaire (a Robine e) and the Eastander

To my knowledge I don't know bonaire or Jake but there's no way they are Rovers supporters. Can we knock that on the head. We do sometimes get interlopers on here but they don't last long as they are so obvious.

As for being downbeat, it's understandable when you think that since that run of three wins in four games last summer we have won just three games out of twenty-eight and one of them was a last minute win.
